    No offense intended since I’m fully incapable of pronouncing tons of English words properly (fuck “squirrel” specifically), but as a Frenchman who has lived near Mulhouse for a few years and interacted with a lot of foreign students, what you said probably wasn’t close to being the exact same as that guy

      For all languages I have learned so far ‘squirrel’ is really hard to pronounce for non-native speakers.

      English: squirrel

      French: écureuil

      And the germans kill it with: Eichhörnchen

      Ignore the letters in English, it helps just as much as ignoring the letters in French.

      Squirrel is pronounced like skwir-rel.

      If it makes you feel better, most Americans can’t pronounce squirrel either.

      “Skwerl”
